In this performance, Sweet Honey in the Rock were supporting the international labor movement and pan-Africanism. They were an acapella group that were using only their bodies to create beauty, cooperatively and with humanity. By embracing the pan-African movement, they show their support for the de-colonial struggle.

M.I.A. – Born Free (2010)
This music video is a fucking film. Great perspective from a refugee who herself escaped a civil war and genocide that went under the radar of the west.
This video’s 10 years old now but feels more current than ever with the atrocities the US has been committing at their southern border.
